I have deliberately not followed this debate because I feel like it would take a lot of reading to really form a nuanced and correct opinion on it, which would then be useless because in most arguments you'd be facing a talking-points opini

Why complain about it? She can't control whether others give her attention. I respect your comment, but one thing is a little . . . off. How would you like if someone pointed to your most prominent project to date and said, "that was pr

I occasionally return to this and browse around: http://www.nt.armstrong.edu/terms.htm The examples are great.

Agreed on the first point. That's why my example is more like someone who for whatever reason (kids probably) is ready to trade the ups and downs of entrepreneurship for a steady high-level job. To your second point: Is that true of most b

I don't think anyone is going to be cured of buzzworditis by being forced to read Godin and Anderson. Can I interest you in my biz, which is a freemium play on a purple cow concept? We just need enough money to get through The Dip.

consider that the author's program was an undergraduate program and try to remember how experienced or useful you were at 18-21. This is important. I got an undergrad business degree and I got a nice background in accounting, finance, ma

Does anyone know if it works through Maps on Android 1.6? I just got the update on my G1 and posted an update through Maps, but it doesn't seem to show up on the Buzz layer.

The "follow" model is the most broken of Google's social stuff. Most of the people I have sent or received email from are not people I want social updates from.

And: people already have subsidized phones, with contracts that prevent them from getting another one for a while. I'm still locked in to the G1 I bought in November of '08. People who were waiting on the next big Android phone probabl

It would be good to have hide/show thread buttons like on reddit. That way if you see a useless thread carrying on, you can just click [-] and move on to the next comment. This isn't a direct solution to the problem at hand, really, but I

I actually like my G1 better than my sister's Droid. The keyboard is better and I like the physical buttons rather than the touch ones for Menu, Back, & calls. The droid seemed slightly laggy when flipping screens, and I also like tha

This. I find myself using upvotes for bookmarks about as often as I do to "promote" something.

A suggestion for Vidly: please make a video's view count available through the API. I just went with YouTube + bit.ly for a video & twitter related thing I'm doing because I have to have access to the view count.

These have been around for at least a year. First one I saw was tweetergetter -- it's some other b.s. on that domain now. I wonder how much Twitter's server costs would go down if they could just ditch all the clueless marketers following

I would like to see a "collapse" button to hide a comment's children, like on Reddit. With the new ranking algorithm, I do a lot more scrolling than I used to (good thing in terms of giving everyone's comments more visibility, but [-] woul

That's cool, but it goes inside the blip instead of under it.

by jraines 17y ago
Here are three things that really bother me: 1. You can't do a threaded reply to the last blip in a thread. You have to make a "footer" and then reply to the next-to-last item. 2. When you copy something to a new wave, it doesn't copy the

In high school I dealt with boring work by seeing how fast I could do it. After a while I'd usually be able to do it (if it wasn't, say, a term paper) at school, and not even sweat it at home. Not a good strategy if you're trying to be to

I don't think a 4.13% CTR is all that amazing in the context of "Hey, person who finds me interesting enough to subscribe to my stream, here's something that I thought was interesting enough to share with you." Then again, this kind of hint

I think this is a pretty great idea, but the main problem is it's going to be very mixed. I used to work for a recruiting firm. I wasn't there long enough for people in my market to form opinions of me (I think), but if you took one of the

Agreed. I actually got introduced to it by a client who you wouldn't expect to use a startup's product. Fastest I've ever gone from free account to paying customer.
